A school project of mine was porting there existing development boards to the arduino IDE.

My school uses there own development board with a atmel at90can128 mcu.It has a onboard jtag ICE programmer based on a atmega16.It has 1 usbport emulation 2 comports (FTDI ft2232d) one is connected to the jtag programmer, and one is connected to a uart of the at90canAnd all the other stuff like power regulator leds and stuff.

Now I have made the core file for this board, but it should work with any at90can, you need maybe a different pins.It also supports CAN bus, I've used the atmel CAN library for this http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/at90CANLIB_3_2.zip.I have modified it so it works in the arduino IDE.Check the atmel library out how it works, with the examples.I have included 2 sketch's with CAN support.The CAN support works only with the at90can of course, its embedded in the mcu.

Weird that no one replied as that there are some working on automotive related projects. Could you elaborate on what parts of the chip work with the arduino function names? analog read/write, Serial and Serial1 etc.I'm also interested in the schematic of the development board. Looks like there are quite a few 'addons'. Any chance that you could publish that?Could you explain how/why there is another processor connected to the jtag interface?

Even if i wouldn't use the particular controller i'm excited when there is news about arduino supporting more processors.

has anyone had any luck using one of the olimex at90can boards with arduino? I have been trying to get it to work but I am not familiar enough with arduino ... I can get it to upload a sketch but it doesn't seem to run, even something basic like blinking the led on pin 6.
